REPLICATION INFORMATION

These replication files allow one to replicate the tables and figures reported in Palmer-Rubin et al.'s "Accountability in Time: Evolution in Social-Accountability Institutions," as well as those reported in its Supplemental Appendix.

These replication files include two files:

1) An R script titled "WP replication code.R" which produces the tables and figures associated with the paper's analyses. 

2) A file containing the dataset used in all statistical analyses (WP_replication_final.csv). Note that the request ID's included in "final_data_for_replication.csv" match the FOLIO ID's used in the Infomex system, other than the year 2004, which did not have FOLIO IDs in Infomex’s public data. For the latter year, the FOLIO ID's correspond to the row number found in the original Infomex CSV file.

Necessary R packages needed for replication: MASS, lfe, lmtest, texreg, data.table, multiwayvcov, interflex, and xtable.
